just wondering who we would all class as the chaps on here who run bigger operations than the one man bands say people who turnover £1000,000 + a year.

and maybe give a bit of insight into how they have took there businesses forward

[Sean Dyer]

a million?

Not more than one or two i don;t reckon

Quite  a few over 100 k though

[Adam P]

i think he meant 100k not 1000k as anyone that rich would most likely be on a beach then sat talking on here. interesting to know

[P @ F]

I just missed the mark this year , i reckon if i get rid of the ladders and invest in wfp then i will hit the spot next year !

Its the quiet ones you have to watch

As Delboy said this time next year I'll be a millianare?lol

[james44]

it was meant to be £100,000 hahaha too many zerooooooooooooss

I dont think a turnover of £100,000 can be classed as a bigboy! think if it was profit then yes but turnover no!

[P @ F]

Just playin T&T , wont even mention his name 

One name i would like to see come up here is our dear old mod D.M.
When he tips up im gonna double the price for M&S instantly, you have been warned you plastic cornishman

I guess it depends how big your own business is as to who you determine to be a big player? Anyone bigger than me I consider a big player and strive to be as successful as one day.

I hope to have gone past the 100k mark by the end of 2011. Just hope it goes to plan?

I too want to know who the 'big boys' are so I can try and network with them for ideas and advice?

In any business situation we all have the same advantage.

WE ALL HAVE TWO EARS & ONE MOUTH

So if you want a business that has more than 100 thousand turnover you have to learn one basic rule.

LISTEN TWICE AS MUCH AS YOU TALK.

(Richy I have told you how to do this, take time. read what I said and you wont go far wrong, Guaranteed)

I like this approach. Evaluate everything first?

Rhinoman , you should write a book , make a bit more money .
I too have had the benefit of what i consider to be words of wisdom from a bit of a player , no book yet but its in the pipeline im sure !
He came to my house a while back for a coffee , or was he checking my work , i will never know !
He sat there with his wife and drummed into me that my prices needed to go up , for once i listened , on the monday i started the increases , not a single loss yet , not done it in 5 years , most work was fairly priced in my location , but i have to admit lots did need a big boost .
The upshot of this couples visit is the fact that i will now be earning lots more this year than last .

As was said about 2 ears 1 mouth , i see the point , i for one was too pig headed to hear it many times over the phone , it took a personal visit to drum it home .
My advice to anybody with a mentor willing to give the time to you is ...TAKE IT IN .

Regards Rich
